Later Zhao Feng received a call from Lu You and hurried back.The police car parked downstairs hadn't left yet, the red and blue lights of the dome were flashing back and forth non-stop, and someone on the nearby balcony stuck his head out and looked around, pointing at the place where the accident happened.

He heard Lu You speak vaguely on the phone, but his voice was calm, and he didn't seem to be in danger of life. He thought it was just unlucky to encounter that kind of random robbery, and there would be no problem if he was fine.He underestimated the severity of the situation, and when he was about to go upstairs, he was stopped by the police to verify his identity. Seeing the serious expressions of these uniformed people, his heart ached.Even so, when he really stood at the door and saw the scene of a typhoon passing through the house, he still stared blankly.

There are fragments everywhere, and basically nothing that is still intact can be seen. There is not even a whole body left on the table and chairs, as if they were trampled back and forth by a group of mad mammoths.The wall between the living room and Lu You's bedroom, together with the ceiling above, was completely pierced in several places, and large and small gravels were scattered around.Fortunately, no one was home in the upstairs household at the time, but the ornamental fish tank in the living room was broken, and the leaked water accumulated on the cracked ground, soaking furniture fragments and several motionless fish carcasses.

Under the light of the overhead light in the living room that survived, the puddle of water glowed a strange green.

Zhao Feng smelled a disgusting stench, like damp rotting leaves piled up in layers, with poisonous insects crawling inside... He had this association because he had a friend who had a bunch of reptiles. There was a similar smell in it, but it was not as strong as the one he smelled now.

There were policemen standing in the room, holding transparent bags like evidence in their hands, and they were communicating in low voices.No one paid any attention to Zhao Feng, he poked his head around the door, it seemed that his room was the least damaged, he still couldn't help worrying, but he didn't dare to enter rashly.At this time, he saw Lu You coming out of the room following behind a policeman who seemed to be the most senior, with a bag in his hand, and quickly waved to him.

Lu You said a few words to the policeman and walked towards the door.Zhao Feng has countless things to ask: Who did it?How did you do it?Did he escape or was he caught?After Lu You came over, he held back for a while, and finally pointed to the miserable scene in the room, but only choked out one sentence: "This...won't we have to pay for it?"

Lu You looked not in good spirits, with faint black shadows in his eyes. Hearing this, he showed a tired and wry smile, "Let's talk about it after we contact the landlord. His phone has not been connected." He whispered, "The police Said that they can’t come back to live in these few days, they found some things and said they want to keep the site. They will block this place later, if you have anything to take, hurry up and pack it.”

Zhao Feng couldn't figure out why people were allowed to go in even if the scene was reserved, but of course it would be best to be able to get things.He sneaked into the room under the eyes of several policemen in the house, and found that many things had been knocked to the ground. He didn't dare to linger for too long, and hurriedly stuffed important things into a backpack, and was urged out within a few minutes up.The stench seemed to come from the balcony of the living room. When Zhao Feng walked out of the room, he poked his head to look, and saw a few sticky puddles on the ground, as if someone had vomited.The policeman standing by was very keen, and immediately raised his eyes to look at him, and he quickly looked away.

Lu You leaned against the door and waited for him, eyes slightly closed.Zhao Feng didn't know whether it was because of the lighting or his illusion, but in just a few minutes, Lu You's complexion seemed to get worse.He noticed that Zhao Feng was looking at his re-wrapped hand, raised it and waved it towards him. "It has nothing to do with what's going on here... I didn't dare to come out of the room just now, and I only heard voices." He said, blocking Zhao Feng's question in advance, "When the police arrived, they had already run away... The surveillance camera in the community is broken, and the cameras on the road outside are still being investigated.”

Of course, Zhao Feng couldn't tell the difference between "they" and "them". He was still in shock, his head was dizzy and he didn't recover. He didn't even want to complain about the camera, and he liked to pick it up at a critical moment. "I can see it." " He murmured, "This is not a robbery, but it's a forced demolition, right? You even brought a steamroller! Really, what kind of grudge..."

Listening to Zhao Feng talking, Lu You glanced at him unconsciously, knowing that it was because he thought of the possibility of "seeking revenge" and suspected him.But Zhao Feng still didn't ask anything in front of him, but lowered his voice and asked him another possibility: "Our landlord can't be a big boss in some way?"

Lu You was not in the mood for joking, and responded with a few words indiscriminately.Zhao Feng also had a big heart, and after recovering, he threw the bag over his shoulder, saying that he didn't know anything anyway, and there was nothing he could do in such a situation, so why not go back to the party and continue playing.When you can come back to live or contact the landlord, call him again.After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, but before he left, he was stopped by the police and asked some questions such as "Have you lost the key" and "Have you lent someone else to use it"-because the anti-theft door lock showed no signs of damage-listen He didn't let him go until he reassured that he didn't have any.

The wound on Lu You's hand was aching. Seeing Zhao Feng leave again, he suddenly felt envious of his ignorance.He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, feeling that ever since the police arrived, he felt more and more drowsiness coming in waves... Was it caused by the sudden relaxation after extreme tension?

He might have been able to detect the abnormality of this situation, but at this moment his thinking is too chaotic, and his attention is also wandering.When he was talking to Zhao Feng just now, when he heard that voice, he still tensed up unconsciously, reliving the fear of the door being knocked without warning at that moment in front of him... He didn't even have the energy to worry about whether he was aware of something abnormal.

What he told Zhao Feng wasn't all the truth - he had indeed been hiding in the room, but it wasn't that he didn't see anything.

When the wall between the living room and the living room was smashed open, the wires were damaged, and all the lights in his room were extinguished at once, hiding him in a dark corner.But there was still light outside, and the light revealed an extremely hideous outline: countless jointed limbs divided into several segments, countless soft and curved tentacles extending from the huge body, and it was impossible to tell which side each part belonged to in the battle... …

The silhouette flashed past the edge of the hole, and fell sideways in the struggle.Afterwards, strangely shaped shadows frantically waved, and something tried to crawl into the room and was forcibly dragged out.The howling monster... He guessed that it was the one who pretended to be Zhao Feng's voice and tried to trick him into opening the door. It seemed that he was not good at fighting, so he quickly fell into a disadvantage, and his voice turned into howling.They hit the balcony all the way from the entrance of the living room. After a glass door shattered, the outside suddenly fell into silence.

The weaker side was defeated and found a chance to escape.The silence lasted for a long and difficult few seconds, and Lu You, who was hiding in the corner of the room, held his breath... Then, there was the sound of heavy objects crushing debris and moving back from the balcony.Prayers that they would follow the fleeing party away were not fulfilled.The winner who had been silent until now is coming to collect the reward.

Lu You saw that the light coming in from the hole was blocked, and the slender front end of some kind of soft limb protruded in, like the tentacles of a sea anemone floating in the sea to hunt.He climbed onto the desk by the window and pushed open the window, his hands shaking so badly that he could hardly use any strength.The voice behind stopped.And he leaned against the window, looked down, and what he saw was not only the distant ground that could take away human life just like the monster... but also the monster itself.

The monster that escaped from the balcony didn't leave—or was it a third one? ——In the middle of the road illuminated by street lamps, the long man with many feet lined up on both sides, like a giant centipede, was entrenched in circles, looking up at the window where he was.Near its tail, there is another thing extending out, as if a person is standing on it... Under the streetlight, a pale and blurred human face is also looking at him.

After a few seconds of being motionless, the face suddenly turned to the side, and the head of the insect in front suddenly lowered, as if threatened, the coiled body of the monster quickly unfolded, and it rushed to the end of the road in the blink of an eye, and disappeared into the darkness. landscape in a bamboo forest.

The road became deserted.In the distance, there was the sound of a police car honking.Lu You tightly grasped the window sill, stiff as a sculpture, and stood in a stalemate with the silence where water droplets could be heard behind him, until the police knocked on the door vigorously outside to inquire.

The monster with tentacles left the house at some unknown time.

Until now, his back is still stiff, with the sticky touch of cold sweat, and his fingers are cold in this hot day.Lu You sniffed, feeling drowsiness that seemed to have deteriorated into dizziness.He finally felt a little weird, but at this moment, the policeman who asked him about his situation happened to come up from downstairs again.

A middle-aged man in uniform with gray hair saw him still standing by the door and came over to tell him to leave quickly. "What are you waiting for here? Are you scared? Don't think too much about it, go to a nearby hotel and get a room, have a good sleep, and leave this to the professionals." His tone was majestic with gentleness, He reached out and patted Lu You on the shoulder, "Come on, I'll take you down."

Lu You was embarrassed to trouble him to climb the stairs again, but the tone did not allow him to refuse.Having someone in uniform by his side... really made him feel a lot more at ease. "Then thank you..." he said, turning sideways following the push of his shoulders.

"It's just a few steps away." The person behind him said, "By the way, does the wound on your hand still hurt?"

Lu You felt it carefully.The back of the hand that was throbbing from time to time just now feels nothing at all.Compared to getting better, this seemed more like complete paralysis... The drowsiness made his feet tremble, and the voice that came out was weak, as if he was talking in his sleep.

"It doesn't hurt anymore." He said honestly.

----

The monster stopped.

The object pursued ahead has lost track.

Because he was worried about the situation of the man, he went over to check and delayed him for some time, allowing the injured prey to take the opportunity to escape.The prey was injured, and following the faint smell that remained in the air along the way, it was not impossible to continue chasing, but he was already a little far away—and he didn't have an advantage in speed, so he might not be able to catch up.

He didn't want to fight, he simply gave up the pursuit, turned around and returned.In order to take into account both speed and combat power, and also to save power, he did not turn into a shadow, but shrunk his figure, using the shadows of the buildings along the road to cover his tracks.

On the way back galloping, he was still thinking about the monster he met just now.Its existence is very strange, and it is impossible to tell whether it is a whole or two connected together... It looks like a combination of a centipede and a human body. The humanoid part has the ability to mimic, and it sinks into the centipede's body during battle It was probably a weak point in terms of protection, but unfortunately this thing moved too fast, and he failed to hit it after aiming several times.

He originally thought that the centipede part would be more resistant to beatings, or more ferocious, but it turned out to be mediocre.Although there were only a few hits in the whole process, these few hits were enough to kill it.As for the toxin it carried, it was probably not as toxic as the cold virus, so he didn't even bother to avoid it.Unfortunately, it escaped in the end.

Don't know how many more of these are hidden around here...

He began to consider whether there was a chance to catch a live one, and asked about the distribution of monsters around.I don't know anything about the situation, and I can only use soldiers to cover up the water and soil, which is still too passive.It is necessary to obtain information from other sources... He can predict that more troublesome dangers will be brought by monsters than accidents.

- This time the survival time increased, and he was able to determine that the frequency of "accidents" had indeed decreased over time.They are also like a special kind of monster, rushing towards the freshest breath of death, and quickly lose interest after a while.Compared with other monsters, they are much more "long-lasting". At least after half a day, this one's fanaticism level doesn't feel any lower than that in the auditorium.

How long does it take to let the breath of death dissipate and to accumulate enough strength to make up for the damage to the soul?

...I really want to see him wake up immediately...

Although reason told him that it was normal for a person to be afraid of monsters, the fact that he would rather climb up the window sill to avoid him not long ago still made him feel a little sad.The pale faces with cracks sleeping in the coffin-shaped container emerged in his mind. Under the premise that they will meet again in the end, it is difficult to measure which one makes him more sad.

Although you can see living, moving and emotional people in front of you, but without the memory of getting along, it seems that some kind of key is missing.The contrast between love and not love is so sharp, the latter is like a sweet drug, meeting is drinking poison to quench thirst.

—Shall I tell him all this when he wakes up?In order to pretend to be pitiful, I still don't want it.Just pick something interesting to say.

Hopefully there will indeed be interesting things to say.

When he returned to the place where the fighting took place just now, the police car parked there hadn't left yet.That person hasn't left yet, he can sense the breath staying there.He turned into a human form in the shadows that no one noticed, and he was dissatisfied with the much smoother start this time than last time.It is more convenient to use the identity of a graduate senior in school, and it is not impossible to create opportunities to meet outside, but it is not easy to get close after all...

The scent of the centipede still around him made him feel disgusted.He looked up at the lighted window, thinking that he had noticed this smell in school, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it in order to deal with the spider first, and he couldn't find it afterwards.Speaking of which, the centipede that swam by at that time did not seem to see any human body.

Do you usually hide it?It seems that it is indeed a weakness...

The noise next to the police car made him look away.A gray-haired policeman opened the car door and stepped out, turned around again, and leaned over to give some instructions to the people who stayed in the car.Then he picked up a phone call. It seemed that there was something inconvenient for the little policeman in the car to know. The middle-aged police officer walked a few steps away before standing still and talking in a low voice.

——At this time, another possibility of "the centipede did not see a human body" suddenly split his thoughts like a white lightning.

----

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Lu You said honestly.

It was only when the scene in front of him began to tilt that he realized that his body was falling... But how strange, the hand on the shoulder was still firmly grasping and pressing it in place, neither pulling him nor letting go, as if The wrist attached to the back was made of extremely elastic rubber, stretching and lengthening as he fell.

The figure cast on the side of the corridor changed shape——

"Is it not hurting?"

Before his vision went completely dark, he heard the last words from the voice behind him.

"Then I'm going to eat." It said briskly.
